Mail Order Intro

INTRODUCTION: Since Going to Mail-order Sales of DSM in 1986, we have been able to provide:  

  • Having products in mostly ready-to-be shipped <7 day stock
  • Craftsman-made Products/Quality Control, and Expert Sales/Engineer
  • Lowest factory to you direct wholesale prices for maximum product value
  • Uncommon personal attention to individual recording needs & requirements
  • Having the most responsive & personal customer service to be found anywhere
  • Customers with practical recording techniques and answers to specific questions
  • Limited Production but Availability of Truly Unique Recording Accessory Systems

For us to achieve these company & product qualities, there're inherent limitations on practical company size (we've had to stay very small) and do without some customary conveniences (like there's NO Credit Card/PayPal Service & Retail store product availability) as is usual of most Mail-order& Retailers offering commodity type products.

In Other Words: It's just us .... Leonard & Debbie making Sonic Studios recording gear happen for you!

We are keeping:

the procedure of doing business very simple & direct....

from distributor markup pricing that gouges direct mail-order customers

from Credit Card Co. cost overheads (percentage/fees/phone equipment, and more...)

the pricing low as practical while having a competitive, progressive, and viable business

high value products of unique quality, refined design, and carefully manufactured by the rare expert & knowledgeable

TO AVOID E-MAIL DELETION: Please include an appropriate "Subject Heading" in all E-Mail correspondence

Before ordering, it's important to know about your special needs in sound recording

Let's first let's take some time to discuss the type of sound/music you're interested in recording.

Please, advise me about your level of interest as an amateur or professional, if you're a musician, composer, film sound mixer, or maybe you're a hobbyist who's just getting started. What kinds of portable recording equipment you now own or are looking to acquire soon?  In this way, the best suggestions on available DSM microphones (models & sensitivity), recording deck, and available accessories can be more useful to your special requirements.  

Recording satisfaction is very dependent on knowing the best combination of microphones (and the method of using), recording deck, and necessary accessories.

International Customers Have A TWO Choices of Shipper

Choosing US Postal International Priority (EMS) seems BEST for most (<$500 usd) international shipments, but ONLY where a country's postal system has NOT been privatized with using independent contractors known to not allow for standard package tracking protocol. Unitary postal system usually allows for dependable EMS package tracking and delivery.

When consistent mail tracking is not assured, please use FedEX shipping for >$500 usd purchases.

1) US Postal International Priority (EMS) ... 3-6 Days to Customs ... ~$30.00 USD

... the low cost preferred Shipper choice

2) Federal Express ... 2-3 Days to 'Expedited Customs'.. $75.00 - $95.00 USD

... Most secure, reliable shipper choice

Please Note: ANY CUSTOMS/IMPORT Duties/Fees are the customer's responsibility

VERY IMPORTANT TO ADVISE US OF:

Models of (Portable) recording decks/analog input devices you have (?) or intend to use.

&

TYPE(S) OF MUSIC/SOUNDS of Main Interest

....This is VERY IMPORTANT FOR Getting the Very BEST SYSTEM for your purposes!!
